Carrying Eggs?!

[sealer39]

If you carry eggs in your pants pocket make sure your chickens are getting plenty of oyster shell.

Pockets here. It's a risky game I'm willing to play. I never remember to bring a container or basket. I always have pockets on me.

Only 4 of my 14 new pullets are laying so I expect a lot more than this in the near future. But this was my largest haul to date.

I've only got two hens so usually I can just carry their eggs in my hand. But if I want to be extra safe, I use a plastic strawberry basket, one of the small ones that only holds a pint of strawberries. For even extra cushioning, I put an old washcloth in the bottom. Only the best for my ladies' eggs!

I'll either use my shirt, or a plastic easter bucket my son got. Depends if I remember to grab the bucket or not. The kid always takes the bucket.

Don't put them in your pockets.

My son has done this in the winter time and forgotten about them.... its messy. Hence why he always takes the bucket.

I got this little tin, must be 15 years ago at a flea market. I’ve never had a use for it but I love the owls. It’s recently become my kids egg basket. It’s perfect, I put a little rag in the bottom as 4 year olds aren’t gentle. It’s got 15 eggs in it in the pic.

Ugh I had one in my shorts pocket. Came in to the kitchen, parched. Leaned into the faucet. Smash. Yuck. Putting you hand in to an eggy pocket is gross.

Thank you so much for the story and over all reply. Very enjoyable to read, and helpful too! I'm sure I have buckets around! Yours is very nice, by the way, and I like your spiral egg holder! (I just store mine in cartons.)
